I looked at the olimex site, and I think I found what you're talking about. But I don't see the point of the protoboard systems that are made up of plastic boards with holes only...you have to solder wires on everything, and I usually hook it up wrong once or twice, So, I use solderless breadboards, and the thing I am making is something that you can place beside the solderless breadboard, and connect the registers over to the breadboard using the normal plug in wires. and It's a bit of an exercise for me too, thanks though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Botkin" To: Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [pic] : mclr versus cycling the power > On Sun, 19 Jan 2003, rad0 wrote: > > > This is my second attempt at having a pc board made, > > I'm sure I'll end up doing it twice. > > If you're not doing it yourself to gain experience and learnt he whole PCB > layout & manufacturing process, I know Olimex and other places have pretty > cheal PIC prototypeing/experimenter boards available.
